Summer may be over, but if you’ve got the post-holiday blues its the perfect time to book a late getaway thanks to some incredibly cheap flights.

Flight prices for September have dropped hugely thanks due to the continuing price war between low-cost airlines.

Alicante

Another beachside favourite, the Spanish resort has seen average prices slide by 18 per cent with return flights starting at £51. When you’re tired of hanging out by the long waterfront sipping sangria (it can hit highs of 29 degrees in September) head out to discover the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, a 16^th century castle with sweeping views of the city.
